It looks like the band just might back together. Deadline hears that Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Richard Donner are all huddling on the possibility of doing another film for the the Lethal Weapon franchise. In the scenario we’ve heard Donner would direct and Channing Gibson (Lethal Weapon 4) would script. There are many moving parts, but we’ve heard that all are on board and exploring another film. It would move forward, of course, at Warner Bros., the studio that has brought audiences four in the franchise. The buddy action comedy was a major hit for the studio under the Bob Daly, Terry Semel regime when it first launched in 1987 and together the four have pulled in $955.2M worldwide. The last one was released in 1998. The film also spawned a TV series as well.

Yes, please. Lethal Weapon is one of my favorite series.

I’m down for one final LW.

I'm getting too old for this shit.

I really hope this happens. I loved all of the films so far, and would love to see another. Glad to see Gibson continuing his comeback after some difficult times (of his own making). Get the Gringo, Blood Father, etc have all been pleasant surprises.

It would be easy to make it work despite their age. Of course, by now they have to be long retired, so they wouldn't be active cops, but the characters could easily still need to get involved in something.

Yup. Probably the typical scenario where they bring them in to help out on a familiar case or something.

Donner returning as a director is the most interesting prospect. He's almost 90 and hasn't helmed a movie in 11 years.

[Batmon77]

Nostalgia fuels bad taste.

[AKORIS]

well I guess if Harrison Ford can play Han Solo and Indiana Jones at his age (as well as Stallone with Rocky and Rambo) then this idea does not seem as absurd as it would of in the past....

let's go for it!!

[kwisatzhaderach]

What the hell, i’m up for this too. Especially if it’s a hard R with Gibson and Glover ripping what’s become of our society and culture.

[BigPudge]

Even though part 4 ended perfectly, why can't we be friends... I have been waiting for this news for 20 years!!

Pesci is back to acting (in The Irishman)... wonder if he would be game to come back, cuz whatever i want, Leo Getz!

I'd also like to see Chris Rock and of course Renee Russo come back!

Can't wait til it is official!

[thecooldud]

Would like to see this.

[warrian]

I don't know. I mean, I'll see it but...

This should have already happened long ago. Would have, if some suit at WB hadn't tried to move Donner off of it. Gibson declined to participate further after that, bless him.

[kngtmat]

Definitely interested and can't wait if it actually happens. The show has been awesome for me too.

Didn't "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" already do Lethal Weapon 5? lol

Totally okay with this news. Would love it if they cast Gibson's son Milo, make it a passing the torch kind of project. Too bad Michael Kamen's gone, his scoring really tied it all together.

[Phobics]

Sweet, hope it happens and doesn't suck.

They’re too old to be cops.
